So, it’s been a little quite around here recently. There’s unfortunately been a good reason for that, which is while the layout and all internal structure of the book is complete, I’ve been having a pretty hard time finding a cover artist who I like, and who fits within the budget of Deepwood Publishing.<\/p>\n
